What we’re looking for:
- Artists to create the “Hero Image” (large image at the top of an article) for each Making Do essay, based on the content of the essay (see examples below) – we are paying $150 per illustration
- Photographers to contribute photos to be used as hero images for Making Do essays – we are paying $50 for 1-year exclusive publication rights
- Graphic designer to create t-shirt designs that can be used to raise money for Making Do – this is a future project so we don’t have pay rate information yet, but will be up front about our budget when we reach out to folks!
